For HUG TLV, the Tel-Aviv-based group of SideFX Houdini users, I crafted a promotional piece for an event that showcased a magical visual effect with an intriguing technical twist.
The technique I spotlighted was "Pre-transformations," a VFX method where geometry is altered before effects are applied. By using "Blur" as a pre-transformation tool, I was able to stretch the noise effect across the geometry in a distinctive manner.
At the Houdini gathering, we delved into pre-transformations, and I'm proud to have introduced this technique to our collective toolkit.
